WARNING
. Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the
seatback is reclined. This can be danger-
ous. The shoulder belt will not be
against your body. In an accident, you
could be thrown into it and receive neck
or other serious injuries. You could also
slide under the lap belt and receive
serious internal injuries.
. For the most effective protection when
the vehicle is in motion, the seat should
be upright. Always sit well back in the seat with both feet on the floor and
adjust the seat belt properly. See
“Pre-
cautions on seat belt usage” (P.1-10).
. Do not leave children unattended inside
the vehicle. They could unknowingly
activate switches or controls. Unat-
tended children could become involved
in serious accidents.
. The seatback should not be reclined
further than necessary for comfort. Seat
belts are most effective when the pas-
senger sits well back and straight up in
the seat. If the seatback is reclined, the
risk of sliding under the lap belt and being injured is increased.
CAUTION
When adjusting the seat positions, be sure
not to contact any moving parts to avoid
possible injuries and/or damages.
SEATS

FRONT SEATS
Front power seat adjustment
Operating tips:
.The power seat motor has an auto-reset
overload protection circuit. If the motor
stops during operation, wait 30 sec-
onds, then reactivate the switch.
. Do not operate the power seat switch
for a long period of time when the
INFINITI Direct Response Hybrid
®Sys-
tem is not running. This will discharge
the 12-volt battery.
See “Automatic drive positioner” (P.3-27)
for the seat position memory function.
SSS1051
Forward and backward:
Moving the switch
*1forward or backward
will slide the seat forward or backward to
the desired position.
Reclining:
Move the recline switch
*2backward until
the desired angle is obtained. To bring the
seatback forward again, move the switch
*2forward.
The reclining feature allows adjustment of
the seatback for occupants of different
sizes for added comfort and to help obtain
proper seat belt fit. (See “Precautions on
seat belt usage” (P.1-10).) Also, the seat- back can be reclined to allow occupants to
rest when the vehicle is parked.

WARNING
Head restraint/headrest supplement the
other vehicle safety systems. They may
provide additional protection against injury
in certain rear end collisions. Adjustable
head restraints/headrests must be adjusted
properly, as specified in this section. Check
the adjustment after someone else uses the
seat. Do not attach anything to the head
restraint/headrest stalks or remove the
head restraint/headrest. Do not use the
seat if the head restraint/headrest has been
removed. If the head restraint/headrest was
removed, reinstall and properly adjust the
head restraint/headrest before an occupant
uses the seating position. Failure to follow
these instructions can reduce the effective-
ness of the head restraint/headrest. This
may increase the risk of serious injury or
death in a collision.

The illustration shows the seating posi-
tions equipped with head restraint/head-
rest.
Indicates the seating position is
equipped with a head restraint.
Indicates the seating position is
equipped with a headrest.
+ indicates the seating position is not
equipped with a head restraint or head-
rest.
. Your vehicle is equipped with a head
restraint/headrest that may be inte-
grated, adjustable or non-adjustable. .
Adjustable head restraints/headrests
have multiple notches along the stalk
to lock them in a desired adjustment
position.
. The non-adjustable head restraints/
headrests have a single locking notch
to secure them to the seat frame.
. Proper Adjustment:
— For the adjustable type, align the
head restraint/headrest so the cen-
ter of your ear is approximately level
with the center of the head re-
straint/headrest.
— If your ear position is still higher
than the recommended alignment,
place the head restraint/headrest at
the highest position.
. If the head restraint/headrest has been
removed, ensure that it is reinstalled
and locked in place before riding in that
designated seating position.
